Rep Charlie Wilson, a dem from east Texas who took care of funding the anti-Soviet resistance during Reagan's term. Wilson was a true-blue patriot who supported Reagan in defeating the Soviets. The story is told in
Charley Wilson's War. There used to be patriotic democrats with conservative leanings, as hard as that is to believe now.

Good-Time Charlie and that ridiculous Hollywood movie well overstated his role, not to mention his alleged Conservatism. Charlie was voting over 90% liberal by the time he mercifully exited Congress (go check his ACU record). I just do continue to find this revisionist history about “Conservative” Democrats to be a hoot and a half. The fact that Perry supporters make 90%+ liberal Socialists like Charlie and Al Gore into “Conservatives” while denigrating Reagan as a “liberal” (!) is nothing short of appalling.
